Looks like this will be a fun show. I've been missing Top Gear and hopefully this will fill the void. BBC really lost a great team in Hammond, Clark, and May.

I agree. I have been looking forward to this show for quite a while. The budget for the show is much larger than they had at the BBC. Should be good.

I can't wait. £4.5million budget per show.

The boys, especially Jeremy Clarkson, were vastly too politically incorrect for people of the BBC. Jeremy's kerfuffle with the producer finally gave them the excuse to can him.

Of course they lost a show that made huge profits and was extremely popular worldwide, even with women. An hour's reprieve from stifling political correctness and a rousing fun time.

No Stig, unfortunately.

Unsurprisingly, social justice warriors have already tried to get Amazon to cancel the new show.

It's hard to believe that Monty Python's Flying Circus was a BBC production and that it was shown in America on PBS. It wouldn't happen today.

The opening 10 minute segment was spectacular and must have cost a fortune. Topped off, when explaining how the show is going to travel the world, with the sort of political incorrectness that constantly got them in trouble with the ultra-liberal BBC: "We're gonna be like gypsies, although the cars we drive will be insured."

I have to say I quite enjoyed the premier.
